4/5

Holy exposition, Batman, this episode sure has a lot jammed into it. It's like, all of a sudden, the staff of AHS realized they only have so many episodes left so it's time to stop dithering on My Roanoke Nightmare and start answering some damn questions.

It does seem that the one that has the first five episodes reflecting elements of each previous season has already more or less come to pass, what with the mention of the Mott family in this episode.
